In 17th-century Europe, it was unheard of for a woman to travel by herself, but that didn’t stop Maria Sibylla Merian. In 1699, she and her 21-year-old daughter Dorothea sailed from Amsterdam to Surinam in South America. The three-month voyage was dangerous but she was determined to go. Besides, she was on a bold mission. She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature.
When they arrived in Surinam, Maria and Dorothea started working. Day after day, they took their painting materials into the hot, humid rainforest to collect and draw insects and plants. Artists had never done such a thing before. Still life painters drew from dead specimens (标本). But Merian had always been interested in painting living animals and plants, and her favourite subjects were insects.
In the rainforest, she climbed high to study and collect insects. She had trees cut down so she could see what lived at the top level of the forest more than a hundred feet overhead. Merian combined both art and science in her work. A skilled observer, she kept detailed notes.
Merian planned to stay in Surinam for five years, painting and collecting insects and plants that Europeans had never seen. She learnt about the medicinal plants of the area and expanded her interest to spiders, birds, lizards and snakes. She planned to publish a book of her new work on her return to Amsterdam.
After two years, she had to leave Surinam. The heat was unbearable and she was ill with malaria. But she had more than enough material for a book. Maria and Dorothea sailed back to Amsterdam with many paintings and specimens — butterflies preserved in brandy, bottles with crocodiles and snakes, lizards’ eggs and boxes of pressed insects.
Four years later, in 1705, Merian published the book for which she is best known, Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam. The paintings of insects and plants in their natural habitats transformed scientific illustration and advanced the scientific study of insects.
4. What did Maria Siylla Merian sail to Surinam for
A. Adventuring on the sea with her daughter.
B. Challenging the traditional opinion on women.
C. Becoming the first traveler to a foreign country.
D. Creating pictures of insects in their natural habitats.
5. What can we know about Merian’s stay in Surinam
A. She drew animals and plants from dead specimens.
B. She brought local medicinal plants back to Amsterdam.
C. She struggled to collect and paint living animals and plants.
D. She published the book Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam.
6. When did Merian return to Amsterdam
A. In 1704. B. In 1699. C. In 1701. D. In 1705.
7. What contributes to the publishing of Merian’s best known book
A. Her interest and creativity.
B. Her curiosity and imagination.
C. Her ambition and eagerness for success.
D. Her adventurous spirit and determination.
C
A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain. Their long necks stretch high, swinging gently with each graceful step. The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour, casting long shadows over the grass. In the distance, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky.
What has led to giraffes’ extraordinary shape According to Charles Darwin, the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees; it has become a classic example of evolutionary (进化) theory. But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights. This is a surprise for Darwin’s feeding competition idea.
Giraffes invest a lot in neck growth. Males continue to grow their necks into old age (about 28), well past the time females stop (around the age of 8). At last, males have long and strong necks, which they use to show off before females as well as fight against enemies. It seems that their necks are more notably used as weapons than for feeding.
Is the neck a result of evolution The answer should date back to their ancestors. In 2022, a group of experts led by a Chinese biologist uncovered one of the smallest known giraffe fossils. This ancient animal, standing about 1.2 m tall, showed a short but strengthened neck and a horned head. That was the earliest known shape of giraffes ever found. They lived some 16.9 million years ago!
Today’s giraffes are much larger, with necks longer and horns dramatically reduced. With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower, spot danger earlier, but fight with more power. These all contribute to their survival. Darwin is right. Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain, I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection.
8. What is the purpose of mentioning the research from East Africa
A. To doubt an established theory. B. To offer an additional example.
C. To advocate for common sense. D. To support a questioned belief.
9. What does the author aim to stress about giraffes’ neck growing in paragraph 3
A. The advantage of the males. B. The importance for survival.
C. The relation with their ages. D. The difference between genders.
10. What is now the author’s attitude towards Darwin’s theory
A. He is well convinced. B. He is disapproving.
C. He is more tolerant. D. He is still cautious.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. An Exception to Darwin’s Theory.
B. Giraffes and Their Neck Competition.
C. The Problem of Giraffe Evolution.
D. Nature’s Perfect Design for Giraffes.
D
There is a tendency among how-to enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed goals: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or symphonies (交响乐). Writers and musicians who have suffered many failures know this is an unlikely task. If they have to talk about it, they use “artistic vision” and leave it at that. However, experience tells me that creativity often lies to one side of a declared aim.
Some young writers are attracted by the idea that they can identify a model and knock out a thriller. Well, maybe so, but novels can take on countless shapes. The problem becomes clear when you start work creatively, because the need to believe in a fixed goal will hold you back.
Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives. It is also a good way of describing what can happen when an artistic approach stops producing results. A few years ago, when I finished Murmur, a novel about Alan Turing, I knew I wouldn’t be working that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a second historical fiction. Failed. Meanwhile, I was playing the piano and composing on the side, which worked nicely.
So, the side-long view is important. The world of nature also offers similar cases. Insects and some birds rely less on an inbuilt map of the world to locate food than on what they see when they are moving. When a bee flies sideways, generating motion parallax (运动视差), a flower can be clearly located.
Perhaps, artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, where looking from different angles is more important than staring straight at something. Creative projects and artistic vision come from our inborn response to the world around us. And since the world is always changing, so is our creativity — it’s never fixed or set in stone.
12. How do writers and musicians view creativity in the first paragraph
A. It has uncertainties. B. It is hidden in failures.
C. It comes with a fixed goal. D. It is limited to specific fields.
13. What made the author fail in the creation of the fiction
A. Influence of the set effect. B. Lacking historical knowledge.
C. Trying a new artistic approach. D. Distraction from playing the piano.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Explanation of the set effect. B. Deep research into insect life.
C. Supporting evidence in nature. D. Doubts on insects’ inborn abilities.
15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A. Staying flexible. B. Living to the fullest.
C. Keeping exploring. D. Holding on to your goal.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Boy Under the Tree
In a summer vacation in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp, and I jumped at the opportunity.
On the first day of the camp, I noticed the boy under the tree, who was small and skinny. His obvious shyness made him appear desperately lonely. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were playing, joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree... I remembered the instructions from the senior staff to watch for campers who might feel left out.
Walking toward him, I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin, one of the instructors. Nice to meet you. How are you ” In an embarrassed voice he answered with hesitation, “Okay, I guess!” I calmly asked him if he wanted to join them to make some new friends. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. But I knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. He didn’t need an encouraging talk, but a friend.
At lunch time, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of my lungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers eagerly participated. My gaze wandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the boy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. Feeling a little bit concerned, I tried again, “How are you doing Are you okay ” He again replied, “Yeah, I’m alright. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” At that moment, I realized this was going to take more time and effort than I had thought.
That evening at our staff meeting, I explained my concerns about the boy to my fellow staff members, and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
Soon came the final night of the camp. The campers were doing all they could to enjoy the last moment with their “new best friends”. As I approached, I suddenly saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The boy, from under the tree, was laughing heartily among the campers.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I was about to leave quietly, a loud voice called out, “Hi, Kevin.”

【答案】One possible version:
The boy, from under the tree, was laughing heartily among the campers. With his hands waving in the air, he seemed to be sharing something amusing with his friends, causing bursts of laughter. Seeing the face glowing with excitement, I was relieved, great joy welling up in my heart. Never had I imagined the boy could enjoy the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. It is such a huge surprise!” I thought to myself, with my heart filled with great joy.
When I was about to leave quietly, a loud voice called out, “Hi, Kevin”. I stopped, turned back and saw the boy dashing towards me with a big smile. “I have made many new friends here!” he stood in front of me, staring into my eyes and saying, “Thanks a lot!” Before I could say anything, he took a step back and bowed deeply to me. Seeing the confident boy, I opened my arms and hugged him tightly. At that instant, I realized you may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.
